| The Skith were a race of explorers and scientists, attempting to catalogue the life of the universe who had explored four galaxies. However, they had the credo that if one were not the first, one were nothing; if they turned out not to be the first alien beings to discover worlds, they deemed any knowledge gained from such a world to be worthless. They would subsequently use their spaceships to freeze the planet, and convert any sentient life that remained into Skithself, leaving them to be commanded to kill each other or to be recovered as specimen samples. This happened to the home planets of the [[Viskili]], the [[Byndalk]] and the [[Mammox]]. Countless species had been exterminated by the Skith in that manner. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The First (comic story)|The First]]'') The Skith advanced and grew as a species by assimilating other species and their knowledge such as the [[Skith Leader]] who was previously from another species.

| The Skith ship ''[[Oppressor One]]'' went on an expedition to [[Antarctica]] in [[1915]], interrupting the [[Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition]] of [[Ernest Shackleton]]. The scientists' experiments converted a [[whale]] into Skithself, but the whale escaped, and its [[morphic field]] still being flux also temporarily transformed one of Shackleton's expedition, [[Robert Clark]], into a Skith when he came into contact with it. Their discovery of the [[Tenth Doctor]]'s [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] made them conclude that [[Earth]] was already exposed to other aliens. ''Oppressor One'' began freezing the Earth, but the Doctor, helped by Shackleton, stopped the Skith by sending the ship into [[Sol|the sun]]. The Mindcore retreated back to the Skith [[Ownworld]].

| Sometime after, the Skith's home planet was obliterated by the [[Crimson Hand]]. A portion of the Mindcore on a Skith colony survived, and used the ship ''[[Oppressor Two]]'' to hunt down the Doctor for perfection of [[time travel]] to combat the Hand. They returned to Earth and invaded [[Australia]] in [[2010]]. There they successfully captured the Doctor and [[Majenta Pryce]], but were defeated by forces of [[UNIT]] during a dispute between ship commanders.
